woo! freezepop just announced that their new full-length album, "fancy ultra*fresh" has been sent to the manufacturer for pressing. My heretofore favorite freezepop song, "Tonight" is listed among the new tracks! Joy of joys!

Simlarly, they've released a new song, entitled "Philippe," based on this cartoon strip... no, I don't get it either, but I love it.

Sheets of style, cascading over me...

My brain hurts. I updated the site to use CSS (though, it's currently embedded in the main HTML code). It'll get split out after I finalize the design.

Although, now that I've gone through all of this, I'm unsure if I want to keep it as a CSS place, or go back to tables. There's some definite limitations to CSS, but the jury is still out on whether they're worth bearing for the advantages.

Well, regardless... it's time for sleep.

Ugh. Captured.

Okay, so I've been ensnared by CSS. I'm fiddling. As is obvious from the left hand side of the page.

Most geeks would fiddle with an offline copy, then make all their changes in one fell swoop... I've chosen not to do that. So, go ahead, make fun of me as we go.

'ello all. Took the web design of this page a few generations backwards. I was feeling hypocritical with all of my tables. Perhaps I'll even spit out a more minimal design.

Polar Cranberry Lime Seltzer is the best beverage in the universe. Trust me on this one.

Got the new transmission put in finally last night... took a lot longer than I thought it would (spring pin of doom, no transmission jack), but at least the car's back on the road. I'll be ordering some Redline Shockproof in the next few days, drain out the Castrol dino stuff I put in, and get the good stuff back in.

synchromesh dying
helical teeth grind away
turning to dark dust

chipped steel floats around
shot-peened, cryo-treated chunks
crystalline failure

thursday vacation
spend the day in a garage
new box gets put in
